The Mission of The East End Special Players (EESP) is to enhance the lives of adults with diverse abilities and special needs by providing opportunities for self-expression through theater performance and artistic experiences.  EESP fosters a growing sense of self-confidence by mentoring and teaching skills that can be showcased to the community.
 
EESP provides unique and quality encounters featuring joyous social gatherings, creative learning projects for people who have few such opportunities, and, for the public, a window into the lives, personalities and talents of all participants. ​The group has been creating theater since 1985. ​
